How Logies producers will avoid Oscars-style stuff-up

IT was the biggest blunder in awards show history but the Logies producers are adamant they won't suffer an Oscars-style stuff-up.

Millions of people around the world clutched their pearls when Warren Beatty mistakenly announced the Best Picture Oscar winner was La La Land instead of Moonlight at this year's Academy Awards.

But Channel Nine is confident they won't make the same mistake.

"We have a number of processes in place to ensure we protect the integrity of the TV Week Logie Awards,” a Nine spokesman said.

"Three senior producers check every award to ensure we have the right winners in the correct envelopes. The sealed envelopes are checked again three times on the night of the awards to ensure the presenters have the right envelope before they step on stage.”

As you'd expect the booze will be flowing freely on the night with an endless amount of Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Resérve French Champagne, Vantage Australia's The Spirit of Melbourne cocktails and Peroni Nastro Azzurro available to the stars.

An open bar means regular trips to the bathroom but guests will have to time their runs to the toilets. The doors will be shut when the ceremony is running and if they don't make it back to their table before the ad break ends, there will be 40 seat fillers on hand ready to take their spot.

The 2017 TV Week Logie Awards will be broadcast live on Channel Nine from 7pm on Sunday, April 23
